The Fragrance's Character and the Story Behind Its Release
Gissah Lost City is a unisex fragrance released in 2024, created for those who enjoy expressive compositions that contrast soft sweetness with leather and woody nuances.
This eau de parfum belongs to the Signature Collection by Gissah, a prominent representative of the new wave of niche perfumery, born under the hot Kuwaiti sun.
Lost City continues the brand's signature vision of emotional, daring fragrances that do not try to go unnoticed.
In this composition, floral transparency gradually meets caramel warmth, a leather accord, and a rich woody base.
Development and Mood
At the opening, the fragrance smells elegant and slightly powdery: iris gives it a cool smoothness, while osmanthus adds a delicate floral-fruity nuance.
It then becomes denser and warmer, bringing caramel and leather to the forefront.
As a result, Lost City feels less like an ordinary sweet perfume and more like a layered fragrance with character and noticeable depth.
Guaiac wood, patchouli, and vanilla remain in the trail. The woody-earthy base balances the gourmand softness and gives the scent a more polished, expressive, and mature character.
Style and Wearability
The fragrance is presented as unisex, so it may develop differently on women's and men's skin.
It will appeal to those looking for a perfume with a strong individual character, a warm personality, and a striking presence.
Lost City's sillage is considered very strong: the composition is noticeable in the surrounding space and retains its expressiveness after application.
It is especially suitable for cooler seasons, evenings, meetings, and events where you want to leave a memorable impression.
Specific recommendations for the number of sprays on skin and clothing are not provided in the available information.
You can start by applying a small amount to assess the fragrance's intensity on your own skin.
Notes and Fragrance Families
Lost City's olfactive profile combines floral, gourmand, and woody families.
Leather, sweet, and woody note groups are also prominent in its overall profile, allowing the fragrance to combine powdery refinement, caramel appeal, and a deep trail.
The perfumer behind the composition is not specified in the database, nor are any other concentrations of Lost City.
This does not prevent the fragrance from being viewed as a standalone Signature Collection release, in which Gissah's recognizable emotionality unfolds through a rich contrast of florals, leather, woods, and vanilla.
